1 3rd INTERNATIONAL SCIENTIFIC MEUSE SYMPOSIUM THE MEUSE DISTRICT : CHALLENGES FOR TOMORROW LIEGE, April 22 23, 2010 AMICE WP4 How flood crisis management can help enhance the adaptive capacity of populations to climate uncertainties M. FOURNIER EPAMA, France maite.fournier@epama.fr

2 Flood crisis preparation as a necessary complement to flood protections

3 Unsufficient protections Calibrated on a return period o100 years 250 years 1250 years Maintenance is neglected Feeling of confidence

4 Forecast Improve forecast ospring floods, snow melting, flash floods, mudfloods Improve chain of information ounambiguous onetworks security Improve understanding otrain local experts omedia role

5 Emergency Coordinated Planned oprepare the plan otest the plan oup-date the plan

6 Flood crisis management in the countries of the Meuse basin -EPAMA -CETMEF -APS -Flanders Hydraulics Research -Waterboard Aa en Maas -Rijkswaterstaat

15 Software developments planned within AMICE to enhance adaptive capacity

16 International exercices and trainings Develop expertise Work on common scenarios Shared feedback

17 Software comparison in Wallonia APS software, OSIRIS and FLIWAS implemented on the same territory > 15 communities Identify pros and cons of each software

18 Information sharing at larger scales District / International owho can supply what in which situation oviewpoint on ability to cope oviewpoint on actions implemented
